Seymour Land Trust to celebrate 80 yrs of Legion Pool

Memories are abundant at Legion Pool on Chatfield Street. The swimming hole turned trout fishing pond has tiny reminders of its past stitched throughout the landscape of the 3.5-acre park.

The various buildings and decks that volunteers from the Seymour Land Trust have added throughout the years are named after early contributors. The metal bar that once supported the diving board is now part of a concrete bench for fishing. An old rock with the names Sherry and Ron carved into it has been used in a stone walkway along the dam at the pond.

The memories are likely to flow, too, on July 25, when the land trust celebrates the 80th anniversary of the dedication of the swimming pool. (Jodie Mozdzer, Waterbury Republican American)
